Chris Wilkinson is the group Leader, and
has been doing a terrific job for many years. Ably supported by his wife,
Lyn - Wombat - a Joey leader -

They are always at scouting events, making
it all happen. They must like the hall much better than their own house,
'cos they're always at the hall..

Their favourite thing to do is having meetings
and cleaning up after others. That is what happens to you when you grow
into an adult but you just wanna be a kid and have fun. The adult in your
head sez "I shouldn't really be having this much fun, I better make
up for it by making sure everyone else has fun too"

Tiger - the King Pin and Super Scouter

Bob Baldock surely warrants super Legend
status.

Tiger has been in scouting for so many years,
scouting is his �family�. This bloke has put some serious �heart and soul�
into scouting in Alice. He has all the tips and tricks, and is so resourceful,
there are few areas of scouting in Alice on which he has not left his
mark.

When Alice Springs scouts travel Australia
see halls and groups with fewer stuff and poorer facilities, they know
it�s because they don�t have a Bob.

If it�s welded or handmade, if it came from
far away and you wondered how it got here, if it took some lobbying, if
it has a motor in it but wasn�t bought by the Group, if it�s a fantastic
invention nobody ever dreamed of, if it was done on a weekday by a bloke
in a truck, if a hole has been filled, or a new flat spot turns up at
Kampari, if it was mowed with a tractor, if it must have taken years to
do, Bob probably had something to do with it.

We have had many, many hard workers putting
lots of hard work into scouting. Bob's been around more than 45 years,
a hard act to follow, but an inspiration to all.

There are hundreds of kids who have learned
the tough lessons in a memorable way; many have grown into very capable
adults who carry a bit of Bob in their hearts.
